Liverpool Close To Signing Chelsea Midfielder

Christie-Davies To Be Released By Chelsea

Liverpool look set to sign Chelsea youngster Isaac Christie-Davies.

The 20-year-old is out of contract this summer and hasn’t been offered a new deal at Stamford Bridge. He headed to Anfield for a trial in March and appears to have done enough to secure a contract with the Merseyside club.

Christie-Davies moved to Chelsea from Brighton. He won the FA Youth Cup with Chelsea in 2015 and 2016 and the Uefa Youth League in 2016. He is likely to form part of Liverpool’s under-23 set-up for next season.

Liverpool signed another former Chelsea youngster Dominic Solanke last summer with the Reds paying around £3million. He made five Premier League starts and 16 appearances off the bench this season scoring his first goal for the club in the 4-0 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion in the final game of the season on Sunday.
